How can you tell how old a Royal Doulton is?
1 Answer
To tell how old a Royal Doulton is, find the maker's marking, usually located in an inconspicuous area. The maker changed the wording of its markings over the years. For example, it began marking pieces with “Doulton
Watts” in 1820 and then switched to marking with “Doulton
Watts Lambeth” in 1826. By cross-referencing the maker's mark on your piece with information published by trusted online resources, you can typically get a rough idea of its age. Alternatively, you can use the services of a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer. Explore a range of Royal Doulton pottery on 1stDibs.
